2. HARDWARE DESCRIPTION This product series provide three different running speed – 10Mbps, 100Mbps, and 1000Mbps in the same switch and automatically distinguish the speed of incoming connection. This section describes the hardware features of these Switches. For easier management and control of the switch, familiarize yourself with its display indicators, and ports. Front panel illustrations in this chapter display the unit LED indicators.
2.2 Rear Panel The rear panel of the Switch indicates an AC inlet power socket which accepts input power from 100 to 240VAC, 50-60Hz. SGSW-2402 Switch rear panel Power Notice: 1. The device is a power-required device, it means, it will not work till it is powered. If your networks should active all the time, please consider using UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) for your device. It will prevent you from network data loss or network downtime. 2.
♦ Baud : 38400 ♦ Parity : None ♦ Data bits : 8 ♦ Stop bits : 1 ♦ Flow Control: none Once the terminal has connected to the device, power on the device. The terminal will display that it is loading the firmware. Then, the screen as below will show up: Press “Enter” and input the password. The default password is “admin”. 2.5 IP Configuration Once log on to the console, the “Command>” prompt will be shown. You can type “help” for all available commands.
To setup the IP address, please use “sys set ip” command in the following format: sys set ip For example, to configure the switch with the following IP settings: IP Address: 192.168.0.2 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway: 192.168.0.254 Press input the following command and press button: sys set ip 192.168.0.2 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.254 If the IP is successful configured, the switch will automatically restart as the following window.
3.WEB-BASED MANAGEMENT 3.1 Configuration As well as the menu-driven system configuration program, the agent module provides an embedded HTTP Web agent. This agent can be accessed by any computer on the network using a standard Web browser (Internet Explorer 5.0 or above, or Netscape Navigator 4.5 or above). Using the Web browser management interface you can configure a switch and view statistics to monitor network activity.
3.2 Web Pages To access the Web-browser interface you must first enter the password. The default password is "admin" You will see the following screen comes out on the Web browser program: Figure 3-1 : Password Screen After the password is entered you will see the main menu screen. Figure 3-2: The start up screen of SGSW-2402 Web Page 3.3 Port Config This section allows you to have an easy access in configuring the ports of the management Switch. Notice that the “Link state” option indicates “Up”.
Figure 3-3 The Port Config screen Choose Port You can choose a port either by clicking on the picture or by selecting it at the “Choose Port” field. Speed/ Duplex Speed/ Duplex is to select the operation mode of chosen port.
is recommended to locate the link your PC used before disable the port state. Flow Control This feature enables or disables the Flow Control function of the port. Flow control can eliminate frame loss by "blocking" traffic from end stations or segments connected directly to the switch when its buffers fill. IEEE 802.3x flow control is used for full duplex. Note that flow control should not be used if a port is connected to a hub. 3.
3.5 Trunk config Port Trunking is the ability to group together several switch ports to increase the bandwidth between the management switch and other switch. This is an inexpensive method to increase throughput between switches (or to servers). We define the Port Trunking as the ability to group a set of ports into a single logical link. The port trunk acts as single link between switches. It doesn’t create a loop even though it is physically connected as such.
3.6 Advanced Configuration The available options in “Advanced menu” are: STP Config The Spanning Tree Setup Screen IGMP Config The IGMP Setup Screen Stack Config The Stack Setup Screen SNMP Config The SNMP Setup Screen RMON Statistics Show RMON statistics information Port Security The Port Security Setup Screen MirrorPort Config The Mirror Port Setup Screen Aging Control The Aging Control Setup Screen Address Search The Address Search Setup Screen 3.
3.7.2 STP Bridge This page lets you to have a clearer view in Spanning Tree parameters for whole switch. Figure 3-6 The Spanning Tree Screen Description of Parameters STP State When STP is enabled, it will dynamically detect network looping owing to mis-configuration of the network topology. The redundant connectors will be disabled to avoid looping of packets. Looping would often result in flooding of broadcast packets, halting the normal traffic.
Step 4: Click “Apply” button and save it if everything is OK. NOTE The screen is divided into two sections. Current Spanning Tree Root section displays the read-only Spanning Tree settings for the current root switch and the parameters this switch is to use when it becomes the root switch. 3.8 IGMP Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is an Internet protocol that provides a way for an Internet computer to report its multicast group membership to adjacent routers.
Multicast routers use IGMP v2.0 to learn which groups have members on each of their attached physical networks. A multicast router keeps a list of multicast group memberships for each attached network, and a timer for each membership. "Multicast group memberships" means the presence of at least one member of a multicast group on a given attached network, not a list of all of the members.
Figure 3-9 The Stack screen page Step 5: enter another unit management switch IP (ex:203.70.249.154) as Slave switch. Step 6: choose “Stack Config” Step 7: choose “Enable” of Stacking State, and “Save”.
NOTE Slave switch IP will be covered by Master one, and disappear temporarily. The slave IP address can be the same as Master IP address. Thus, if master switch is malfunction, you can still access the other switch by same IP address. You can key in Master IP (ex:203.70.249.152), and choose “Stack Config”, then all the stack member list will be displayed . You can then choose the switch you want to configure from the “Select switch to view” list.
is a network node that deserves the trap message sent by management switch. A Trap Receiver entry contains the IP address of the node and a community string that is included in the trap message. When an event arises that requires a trap message to be sent, it is sent to every node listed in the Trap Receiver. NOTE If you are configuring slave switch’s SNMP settings, please reboot the switch after making any configuration. Figure 3-12 The SNMP screen 3.
Figure 3-13. RMON Statistics page 3.12 Port Security Of all 26 ports, some of the end nodes may need to assign to the specific port. In order to fulfill this act, MAC Address should be added to that particular port. This is to ban other users from using the static port. A port can accommodate up to 20 MAC Addresses.
Figure 3-14. Port Security page 3.12.1 Setting Up Procedures Step 1: Select the port that you want to add in the MAC Address Step 2: Key in the MAC Address in the field provided, e.g. 00-80-40-E8-85-12, and click “Add” button The system will then add in the New MAC Address into the listing on the right side of the screen. 3.12.
